About Yoshihiko Akitomo 秋友 義彥

Akitomo Hamono, a family-owned business, boasts a rich history spanning three generations. The current master blacksmith, Yoshihiko Akitomo, born in 1944, learned the craft from his father and assumed leadership as the third-generation head in 1964. In 1995, the workshop developed its signature "Kougase-zukuri" (甲伏せ造り) method, driven by a desire to create unique, high-quality blades. This technique, inspired by traditional Japanese sword-making, involves wrapping steel around an ultra-soft iron core, resulting in blades with exceptional flexibility and durability.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Good replacement parts and affordable
I acquired this filter set to replace the OEM filters in my wife's Honda Accord. The filters fit perfect and were easy to install. Normally when I replace filters I have to purchase both the air filter and the cabin filter separately. In this case, it was very nice to have them sold as a combo set. While I don't know what materials are used to manufacture these filters, I will say that the air filter looks just like the OEM part in terms of it's production. The cabin filter does have carbon built in to help control orders, which is something the OEM part did  not have, so it looks different in terms of filter color. I normally replace filters every 10K to 15K miles, and this fits in line with that this manufacturer suggests (every 12K miles).  In all, a decent combo set of filters helps keep costs down and both filters can be replaced at the same time.

Perfect!!!
This is exactly what I needed. Fits perfectly for my 2018 Honda Accord as well as being very easy to install. This is coming from someone who has no idea about doing anything on my car. Provides the best function, just as it would coming from a dealer or other auto shop. The quality is great as well, and this is exceptional value for the money. If you are looking to save money and not get bombarded with the filter replacement question when getting an oil change then this is the one for you.
